Help your mum make this recipe! Preheat the oven to 160°C. Grease a baking tray with butter or line with non-stick baking paper.
Combine the plain flour, rolled oats, shredded coconut and brown sugar in a large bowl.
In a saucepan over low heat, melt the butter and golden syrup. Remove from heat. Dissolve the bicarbonate of soda in the water, and then stir into the golden syrup liquid.
Pour the liquid over the dry ingredients and mix until well combined.
Roll spoonfuls of the biscuit mixture into balls and place them on the baking tray, 4–5 centimetres apart. Flatten the balls slightly with a fork (or the palm of your hand!).
Bake biscuits in the oven for 20 minutes or until golden brown. Wait until the Anzac biscuits cool before eating (I didn’t!).
LAURA'S CRISP AND SWEET CHOCOLATE CRACKLES
4 cups Rice Bubbles

In large bowl, mix together the Rice Bubbles, icing sugar, desiccated coconut and cocoa powder.
Melt Copha in the microwave on a low heat. Allow to cool slightly.
Stir the melted Copha into the Rice Bubbles mixture until all ingredients are well combined.
